The horrors of the convict lease system
are portrayed bya Mississippi grand jury
in a recent Indictment. Speaking of the
condition of the convicts, they gay:
"Most of them have their backs cut in great
welts, scars and blisters, some with the skin
pealing on in pieces, as the result OF severe beat
ings. Their feet and hands, in some instances
show signs of lrostbite, and all of them have the
stamp of manhood almost blighted out of their
faces, which shows that they have been sui ject-
ed to more cruel and brutal treatment than 4 ma
ton OF sayages ought TO infct upon its convicts
They are lying there dying, some of them on bare
boards, so posr and emaciated that their bones
almost come through their skin. many complain
ing Tor the want Of food We believe they are
Improperly fed. Sick persons should have light
dltt, and their food, we are informed, is coarse
meat and cabbage. which they cannot eat One
convict burst into tears, saying he was literally
starving to DEATH"

ton Of system that produces such horrible
results as these was begun. The crusade Of

Eating Scientifically Considered.

A temperature above that of the body
retards digestion. Meat which is d.
gested 10y the gastric juice of the stom
ach has time to cool before it gets
there; but farinaceous food, which de-
ponds upon its conversion for chvme
on the salivary glands, suffers a serious
loss if, by reason of being too hot, it
cannot avail itself of the saliva supplied
by the mouth. 1t should also be borne
in mind that temperature much above
that of the body cracks the enamel of
the teeth. Excessive concentration
impairs digestibility. The removal of
water is an injury to viands, and dry
ing, sailing, everything, overroasting.
and even overlooking, renders them
less soluble in the digestive juices, and
so less nutritious. The attainment of
nutritiousness by concentration is. of
considerable Importance to travellers
and in military medicine. There are
not few strategists who attribute the
success of the Germans in the war Of
1870 to the easily carried and easily
prepared food supplied to them by the
sausage makers of Berlin. The sausage
thus supplied by the sausage-makers
of Berlin was invented in Prussia
in the year 1870, during the
war with France, and for which
the Prussian Government paid the in
ventor the sum of $37, 900. 1t W at
first manufactured exclusively for the
army, but it is not unlikely that it may
become in common use and enter into
general commerce. This dish is not so
mu h O sausage as complete meal
prepared from peas filled into blad-
der and dried and made to keep. The
secret consisted in the addition of salts
which prevented the sausage from
turning sour. The ad vantage accruing
from such prepared meat for the main
tenance of the soldiers in camp and
during war is apparent The large
herds of animals need not be driven
with the advancing army, and are not
exposed to malar al diseases; and the
many thousands of tons of bones and
of des remain at home and in the
neighborhoods of markets. The sau-
sage factory in Berlin during the war
employed no less than 200 persons,
of whom twenty cooks, on forty boilers,
prepared the meat, which was flied by
$50 men into bladders, with the aid of
a so-called sausage syringe. Every day
were required %, 800 pounds of bacon,
40, 900 pounds OF peameal, % bushels
of onions, 1000 pounds of salt; 10000
boxes, each box holding 100 to 80 sau-
sages. The soldier had only to put into
boiling water, and his meal was ready.

COLONEL CARROLL WRIGHT, Com
missioner of Labor, has completed
his second annual report. 1t rs Crap
pling with some Important and far
reaching questions. First, we are to
have complete investigation OF convict
labor and its effect upon free labor.
The result of this inquiry will show
that. taken as q whole, the value OF the
product of manufactured goods pro-
duced in prisons and of work done by
convicts bears small proportion to
the total product of the country. Ex-
amined, however, in detail the facts
will disclose that certain lines of indus
try have undoubtedly been seriously
injured by the employment of convict
labor to the detriment of free labor.
The total prison population of the
United States at the present time is
1881. OF this number 52,739 are at
work and 4 500 idle. OF the total num-
Der at work As, S3S are male and 1901
female. The methods of employment
are interesting. There are under con-
tract, IA, 949; under lease, 1921, en-
ployed at piece work, $3.50; employed
on public account, 16,679; and in pris-
on duties, $3.50. New York enjoys the
gloomy prominence of having the
largest prison population, aggregating
9,O32, and Pennsylvania ranks second
with 5,533, Massachusetts comes next
with 3,S19; Illinois, $500; Ohio,
1924; Michigan, 2,62S; Texas,
1883; and so on down to
Mr.. Bayard's pocket borough, Dele
ware, which closes the LIST with SO.
These convicts are principally engaged
in fifteen pursuits, as follows Agri-
cultural implements, boots and shoes,
building, carriages and wagons, cigars
and tobacco, clothing, construction,
farm, furniture, iron goods, laborers,
leather goods, mining. stone work,
wooden goods and prison work. The
average contract price paid for this
work is from 40 to 80 cents per day.
The effect of this is undoubtedly to
depress prices and labor in the indus
tries in which prison labor comes in
competition with the free labor For
example, prison labor in the manufac'
ture of boots and shoes has depressed
the prices of those goods, some say,
as much as % per cent. The States in
which the contract system prevails are
Connecticut, Illino s, Indiana, Iowa,
Kansas, Maryland, Massachusetts,,
Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New
Hampshire, New York, Ohio, Oregon,
Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Texas
Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia and
Wisconsin. In three of these States
the contract system has recently beer
abolished by law. These are New
York, Pennsylvania and Ohio. The
contract system has also been entirely
abolished recently in California anC
New Jersey. In these States the
piece plan has been substituted.

A MELBOURNE circular :. IS the
wheat crop promises to be a sixbushel
average in South Australia and is a
complete failure in the Queensland
district, the rust having destroyed all
hope of yield. In the north of Aus
tralia the crop will run from thirty five
or forty bushels to the acre on small
area of irrigated land, while on dry
land the yield will be only about four
bushels TO the acre. This is an enorm-
Gus difference, and may well be sup
posed to furnish powerful argument
in favor of the artificial watering which
has already worked such wonders in
the Rocky Mountain districts of this
country and the further West. The
uncertainty of the rainfall in Australia
appears to be the great drawback Of
the country to the agriculturist.

Fish and Fishing.

The question of stocking the rivers OF Eastern
Maine with black bass is exciting some discussion.
Many think they will destroy the salmon which
abound in some of these rivers.
The last of Cranberry Isles fishermen to arrive
is Capt. b. III. Spurlings vessel His crew shared
over three hundred dollars each, which Is al out
double the share of the others this season.
HOLSTERS are growing so scarce in Canadian
waters that the Commissioners appointed by the
dominion Government recommend that all lobster
fishing be prohibited in the Gulf of st. Lawrence
for three years, save for six weeks next season
to enable the packers to work off their surplus
stock of cans, &c.
The Hucksport Clipper looks for an increase in
the fishing fleet from that place IL present pros
poets continue, but says that if the Canadian fish
ing treaty had continued in force five years longer
our fishing business on this coast would have been
ruined This year as a rule the fishermen have
obtained good fares and received remuneratiye
prices All they ask now is to be let alone.
The Is vessels from Hancock county that have
been engaged in the Grand Banks cod fishing, this
season, have not had SO very bad Il year, though
they landed but $4,000 quintals of fish, decrease
of 10000 quntals from last year. Seven vessels
less than last year were engaged and the price be
ing two dollars per quintal more than last year,
the average income is higher. The fishermen down
here don't want any reciprocity treaty with Cana
da but would like to see tho duty imported fish
increased. Ellsworth American.
